Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your answer

Well, you have your answer then. If there was any factual bases to the beliefs of the Grissom family, they would be in those articles. It isn't in those articles, therefore there is no factual basis. Bubba73 (talk), 20:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Apollo program

edit

Hi, Sorry if I seem condescending, such is truly not my intent. But if you think the Apollo hoax accusations are credible, then you should make a serious case for that on the Apollo Moon Landing hoax theories article page. Of course you will have to reference reliable external sources for that, to make anything stick.

Or, if you think the Apollo program was fundamentally unimportant, probably you aren't enthusiastic about space exploration either, and then you might like to argue against the whole business on the article Rationale, where there is a sub-section for dissenters to the whole idea. (I'm essentially a life-long fanatic myself, so judgment definitely open to doubt, but serious criticism is always welcome, and needed if just to force us guys to make a more robust case.) Or perhaps you approve of Apollo, but don't like the cold-war power political and jingoistic justifications, and think mostly those make it well-known. I agree those aspects are not so admirable, and such issues can certainly be raised in the context of the article, though they will need reliable external sourcing, because of wiki's rather strict WP:NOR rules—though such sources can surely be found in abundance.

Dear Wwheaton,

Your replies are fair and in no way do I mean that you are being condescending. It is other "moderators or editors' that use wikipedia to promote a personal agenda and by basically being rude and disrespectful shoot down most suggestions that don't fit into their narrow remit. There is terrible bias, revisionism and misinformation on wikipedia.

For example the first line of the 9/11 attacks article is unsupported and inaccurate but to try and change or reword this leads only to insults and conspiracy theorist labeling (and this is by so-called editors that should be neutral and objective).

What one personally believes is not important but rational replies like yours are rare. I believe that some moderators or editors are simply baiters and trolls that have found a comfortable home on wikipedia and constantly stop the improvement of articles with their ignorance, bias and self-aggrandisement. Some should be banned as hostility and ignorance swamps their every reply.

Thanks, I am glad I was not too much a part of the problem. I really think the process here, what is needed to make the Wiki idea actually work, is often more interesting than the material itself, and I agree it is often a pretty rough road. We have to work with the human material we have, and hope we can all learn together to collaborate more effectively. Best, Bill Wwheaton (talk) 06:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Signing your posts (please)

edit

You are not signing your posts to talk pages. I'll assume good faith in hoping that you are either forgetting, or are not aware of how the signing mechanism works. All you need to do is add the four tilde characters at the end of your post, thus: ~~~~.
If you have some other reason (not covered under "good faith") for not signing your posts, please remember:

  • Signing is a consensus-created convention at WP.
  • Sometimes an automated process will come along and sign on your behalf (as happened here, here and here).
  • Your edits can be discovered in the history of each page (and via your contributions).
  • Your signature allows others to easily see where your posts end (in a longer chain of replies).

Why make things harder for other editors at WP by not signing?
